server abort error

I have installed splunk 4.3 on Red Hat Linux in the dafualt directory.
However when i try to change some settings from the splunk web UI..everytime i click the SAVE button i get an error:Cannot save ......, there was an error:server abort.I guess this has something to do with access permissions but i am not able to figure this out.The same error comes when i try to configure the forwarder and give the IP address:port in the field.

Try a different browser or Firefox 3.0 higher use.


http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.3/ReleaseNotes/Knownissues

Under Firefox 3.5 via Splunk Web's Manager > Access Control > Users to save a new user record, a banner message displays indicating: Your entry was not saved. The following error was reported: server abort. This message can be ignored as the user record is created. Firefox 3.6.10, 7.0.1, 8.0.1 do not reproduce this behavior. (SPL-47195)
